Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
AIM: This study aims to prepare and optimize a phase III trial which compares the effects of two HBE programs for stroke patients.
METHODS: A pilot study with randomized control design and repeated measures over three-months will be conducted. Twenty elderly stroke patients will be randomly allocated to an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). All participants will receive an introduction to a HBE program by an individual mentoring over 6 weeks. During the following 6 weeks the participants perform the HBE on their own. The EG will perform a balance exercise program using the WII, the CG will perform a balance exercise program without technical support.
Recruiting potential, the participants' acceptance of the intervention and economic aspects will be examined. Additionally, basic information about sensitivity of change and potential effect sizes regarding the proposed instruments to measure mobility are expected.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
HBE Wii (EG)
Participants receive an introduction of using the Nintendo Wii by an individual mentoring for over 6 weeks (a total of 6 sessions á 60 minutes). During the following 6 weeks the participants perform the balance exercise program (wii-fit balances games) at home (instruction: min. 3 times a week for each 30 minutes).
HBE Wii (EG)
Wii-Fit Balance games (Soccer Heading, Ski Slalom, Table Tilt, Balance Bubble etc.)
HBE Control (CG)
Participants receive an introduction for conventional/traditional balance exercise by an individual mentoring for over 6 weeks (a total of 6 sessions á 60 minutes). During the following 6 weeks the participants perform the balance exercise program (exercises in standing and walking) at home (instruction: min. 3 times a week for each 30 minutes).
HBE Control (CG)
Simple balance exercises with own body weight (Single limb stance, stepping, side sways etc.)
